Working developing what we thought was a niche capability for a certain type of signal inside a copper box on Fort Meade. Walked out to see the TV as 2nd plane hit.
I drove down to Andrews to my reserve squadron and briefed and Ops advised maintenance to set the alert 15. No idea what we were going to do with an EA-6B we wanted to be ready to do something.
Two years later that "niche" solution had been deployed hundreds of times, produced a lot of intelligence and saved a lot lives.
